At the New Circus, Papa Chrysanthemum c. 1894

This stained-glass window titled "At the New Circus, Papa Chrysanthemum" was created by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in 1894. The artist, known for his depiction of Parisian nightlife, captures the vibrant energy of the circus in this piece. The bold colors and simplified forms characteristic of Art Nouveau style create a dynamic scene. The central figure of Papa Chrysanthemum, a famous circus performer, is positioned prominently in the composition, while the other figures in the background suggest the spectacle of the circus. This stained-glass work demonstrates Toulouse-Lautrec's masterful use of color and line to convey the atmosphere and energy of his subject matter.
